Didn't one of the Halo games have it too? I vaguely remember having my ipad next to me while playing something... could have been Halo... could have been something else.

I've no idea what this game is about but the trailer is excellent.

It could be a JRPG for all I know.

Post subject:  Re: PS4 confirmed

I'd never heard of This War of Mine. The playthroughs I've watched reveals it to be of the survival/no-ending type of game that might interest me for only a short period of time. Ah well.

I've had this on my Steam wishlist for a while after a good Destructoid review but a demo for Xeodrifter popped up on the PS Store for the PS4 recently and I had a go at it last night. As per the review it's a Metroid homage but with enough of it's own ideas (flexible weapon upgrades, a background/foreground switching mechanic, etc) to earn it's place at the table. It started life on the 3DS so the graphics are, um, 'chunky' but it's stylish enough that it didn't bother me and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it so definitely worth a look if you like that type of game. The Steam page for it's here as well: http://store.steampowered.com/app/319140

I'd heard a lot of gushing about Tearaway but hadn't paid too much attention what with it being a Vita exclusive so I'm glad to hear the PS4 version has apparently been translated so well:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015- ... ded-review

I really fancy this but fuck knows when I'll get to it with Fallout 4 looming and my currently unmoving PS4 backlog. Christ, I've had the machine less than a year and I've only bought one game for it myself, how the fuck've I got a backlog already?

ETA: Actually, that's not true, as well as Arkham Knight I did also buy the Telltalle Collection and played season 1 of The Walking Dead from that. Christ, I'd completely forgotten that I've got all those other Telltale games to play as well as Lara Croft, Shadow of Mordor and Wolfenstein.

Anyone who's planning on buying their first PS4 soon should make sure it's the CUH-1200 'C-Chassis'. Seems to be an improvement over the launch models. Not worth upgrading if you already have one though.

Falling simulator coming to PS4. This needed a wider audience (cause it's darn good) but I doubt it will have the tactile feel of the Vita version. Still, good news for gamers if you ask me.

I can't see Youtube videos at work and Googling for 'falling simulator' doesn't turn up any relevant results so what are you actually talking about here?

Snap - I enjoyed it but got maybe around 2/3's of the way through and hit an awkward boss that I just couldn't pass so gave up.

the one negative I had from the game was that you would sometimes get 'lost' with directions - because you can mess around with gravity and float around you could lose where the ground was (until your power bar drained and you found yourself falling off the end of the world)

The comic book cutscenes were a fucking fantastic use of the Vita. I think those will be the biggest loss in the transition to PS4. More so than anything else about the game.

Post subject:  Re: PS4 confirmed

The motion controls on the Vita were great and worked well. I doubt you'll get as much feedback with the PS4 controller without staring into the screen.

I bet fly kicking something in its face will still be ace.

I'm perfectly willing to give new Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps the benefit of the doubt and suggest that it might be a lot of Left 4 Dead/Call of Duty style fun.

But it'll probably be a bunch of bollocks.

Firmware 3.0 due out tomorrow - list of new stuff

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/09/ ... r=36969785

Quote:

Everything you need to know about PS4 system software 3.00, out tomorrow

PS4’s 3.00 system software, codename: Kenshin, is available tomorrow. We want to extend our sincere thanks to everyone that participated in the beta. We’ve listened to your feedback and made this system software update even better.

There are a lot of changes in this update, from entirely new features to UI enhancements. While we detailed its key features earlier this month, we wanted to give you an overview of our favourite new additions. This update is focused on creating new ways to connect with friends and players around the world, expanding the social capabilities of the system even further.

Events: A new Events app has been added to PS4, accessible from the home screen. This will give you an overview of activities taking place in the games you play most, as well as official broadcasts.

For instance, this week we have a double XP racing event in Driveclub and a Team of the Week Event in FIFA 16, you can register directly from the Events app. Once registered you can utilise the auto-boot functionality to set your PS4 to automatically turn on and launch the game and Event at the Event start time. Stay tuned for new gaming events and broadcasts.

Communities: PS4 users will have the ability to create and join communities based around shared interests, like games, genres, and more. Communities include a message board with general discussion, screenshots shared by players, and the ability to join parties/games. You can find the Communities for the games you own on the game’s live detail page. See the Communities your friends have joined in the Friends app.


PlayStation Plus: We’ve made a dedicated section for PlayStation Plus, which you can access from your PS4’s home screen. Once there you can easily manage your membership, see the monthly free games to download, as well as deals for PS Plus members, and all of the games you’ve redeemed through PS Plus on PS4. And a reminder to PS Plus members, your online storage for PS4 saves has now increased to 10GB.

Sharing video clips to Twitter: Now it’s easy to share video clips to Twitter directly from your PS4. Maximum video length is 10 seconds, though you’ll have the ability to trim longer clips. Don’t forget – you can double tap the SHARE button to start recording a video, and press it again to stop.

YouTube live: Now you can livestream directly from your PS4 to YouTube. Livestreams will be viewable across YouTube.
Request to Share Play and Broadcast: Want to try out your friend’s new game? Now you can Request to start a Share Play session or watch your friend play via a Broadcast. Your friend can chose to start a Share Play session or begin a Broadcast.

Live from PlayStation: Keep up with the hottest gaming trends by viewing the most popular broadcasts, video clips, and screenshots uploaded from around the world.

PNG Screenshots: If you’d like your game screenshots to be in a higher quality format, you can now select PNG instead of JPEG. To access, press Share > Share Settings > Screenshot Settings > Image Format. We took some comparison shots.

Favourite Groups: We’ve added the option for Favourite Groups to the Friends app, making it easier to access groups of people you play games with frequently. You can see we have favorite groups for Call of Duty, Rocket League, and (of course) our Destiny fireteam. Once you’re in the favourite group, you’ll see the online status for players, what games they are playing, and the option to message or chat in party.

Stickers: From the PS4 system’s Messages app, you’ll see a new option for Stickers. The 3.00 update will contain stickers themed around Uncharted 4, Knack, Little Big Planet3, Resogun, and more.

We’re constantly striving to make PS4 even better, and appreciate all the feedback! We hope you enjoy the Kenshin update, and let us know what you think in the Comments below.

PNG is absolutely a higher quality format that JPEG (which is lossy (mostly)). I'm not conviced you'll be able to see much difference between a minimum-compression .jpg and a .png though, and the .png will be pretty huge.

Yeah, that. Lossless jpeg exists as a standard, even though it's basically a bitmap.
